ଶ୍ରୀ ଛିନ୍ନମସ୍ତା ସହସ୍ରନାମ ସ୍ତୋତ୍ରମ୍

A thousand names of Chinnamasta from the Vishvasara Tantra, in a dialogue of Shiva and Parvati, running to a hundred and ninety-eight verses. What the length allows is a range the short hymns of her cannot hold. A single verse can call her the giver of sorrow, the hard to bear, and the one whose sole nature is the breaking of the wicked, and then, without a turn, the left side of the gods, the one the gods serve, and the giver of divine power. The same tantra supplies the armour of Mahishasuramardini in this corpus. The thousand names also stand here in salutation form, where the viniyoga gives them under her other title, Prachandachandika.
